Sushi Train at home

If you have eaten sushi you probably experienced the conveyor belt that carries the sushi plates around the counter at kaiten-sushi (回転寿司) chains. Then there are the stores, particularly some overseas stores, that have a train carrying the plates around a track instead of the conveyor belt.

Epoch Co. (エポック社) have come out with a toy train set that can carry sushi around a track for the kids to play with at home. The company has a previous train product that did very well and is currently selling a cooking toy. They decided this sushi train N700 series product would combine the success of these other two.

complete with track and sushi blocks

The train is modelled on the N700 series Shinkansen and comes complete with toy sushi blocks. You can change those over for real sushi but it might need to be small sized !

I don't know how well something like that would sell over here unless your a train collector. Also I don't know how many kids in the states here like sushi,I for one have never had sushi before not a fan of raw fish but i'd probably eat the rice wrapped in seaweed. But back to the topic,sorry i start rambling, for over there it probably be a hit, actually looking at the size it would be a perfect fit for Rilakkuma.
Well it's late time for bed

Living and working in Shibuya for 20 years this city within the city of Tokyo is always surprising me with shops, trends and new places to visit. I hope to introduce you to many of those new and some of the old great places in Shibuya as well as touching on other Japanese related topics.
